Lead Product Designer

Job description

**ABOUT THE ROLE:** We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to join Yassir FS and own design for one of our core product squads — Consumer Experience (our personal banking and wallet product) or Business Domain (our merchant and enterprise banking portal). You will work closely with Product Managers, engineers, and leadership to turn complex financial flows — onboarding, KYC verification, payment initiation, merchant dashboards, and more — into experiences that are clear, fast, and trustworthy. This is a foundational hire in a young but fast-moving domain. You will help establish the design language for the Yassir FS product family, set the design bar for the team we are building, and ensure our financial experiences feel native to — and coherent with — the broader Yassir superapp. ### Responsibilities Own end-to-end design for a product squad — from discovery to shipped — covering consumer financial journeys or B2B / merchant experiences depending on placement. • Translate complex financial flows (KYC onboarding, payment initiation, wallet management, settlement dashboards) into interfaces that feel simple and trustworthy to users. • Partner closely with Product Managers to define design direction, challenge product assumptions, and deliver high-quality solutions against tight delivery timelines. • Design within regulatory and compliance constraints — KYC/KYB verification tiers, transaction limits, AML disclosure requirements — without sacrificing usability. • Build and maintain design components that scale across the Yassir FS product suite: consumer app (iOS + Android), merchant portal (web), and agent interface. • Produce thorough, developer-ready design handoffs and follow implementations closely to ensure quality at launch. • Present design work and rationale to product, engineering, and business stakeholders with clarity and confidence. Yassir Financial Services · Confidential • Conduct user research and usability testing; contribute insights that shape product decisions. • Mentor and review the work of junior designers; help raise the design team's craft and standards. • Champion accessibility and localisation — our users include French and Arabic speakers, and our interfaces must work correctly in both LTR and RTL layouts. • Participate in shaping the design culture, process, and standards at Yassir Financial Services. ### Requirements • 6+ years of experience designing digital products professionally, with a portfolio demonstrating strong product thinking, visual craft, and the ability to handle complex flows. • Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or a similarly regulated and complex product domain — strongly preferred. • Proven ability to design for complexity: multi-step financial flows, state-heavy UIs, data-heavy dashboards, and thorough error/edge-case handling. • Experience designing for iOS, Android, and web — native and responsive. • Advanced proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, auto-layout, and design token management. • Experience building and contributing to design systems at scale. • Deep understanding of iOS and Android design language, platform standards, and system behaviour. • High proficiency producing high-fidelity prototypes to communicate interaction design intent. • Strong knowledge of design principles and the end-to-end product development process. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Arabic (both required); French is a significant plus. • Comfortable in a high-ambiguity, build-from-scratch environment — you make good decisions with incomplete information and adapt quickly. • Experience designing for Arabic-speaking or French-speaking markets, including RTL layout considerations, is a strong advantage. • Degree in interaction design, computer science, or equivalent — or equivalent demonstrated experience. Previous experience at a high-growth fintech, digital bank, or payments company in MENA is an advantage. Yassir Financial Services is a young domain inside a proven superapp — which means you get the distribution and user base of an established platform, and the creative latitude of a team still writing its first design principles. This role is based in Cairo, Egypt.
